The Israelites: Tullock And Mcentire
The Israelites were exiled from their own land and forced into slavery in Egypt. God called upon Moses to take his people from Egypt and led them to a land that was promised to their ancestors. Pharaoh’s army tried to capture the Israelites on their journey, but with the guide of Moses, they were able to escape to the land God had promised (Tullock & McEntire, 2006).

    John W. Oswalt Summary

    the author and Old Testament scholar John W. Oswalt begins with an introduction in which he presents the argument for the book. In this book, it is divided into two main sections: The Bible and Myth and The Bible and History. However, Oswalt puts emphases on myth and history. Oswalt addresses the Bible and myth, the Bible and history, the Old Testament, and the Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) myth all in ten chapters. However, revelation, myth, and history are the main topics of this book. Oswalt further discusses the differences between Scripture and myth; as well as the issues involved in the Bible’s relationship to history and historiography. Oswalt argues that while there are undoubtedly many surface comparisons among the Old Testament and…

    Book Summary of the Bible Among the Myths

    Author John N. Oswalt begins The Bible Among the Myths: Unique Revelation or Just Ancient Literature? with a concise and well-written introduction that whets the reader’s appetite, compelling one to continue reading. He begins by informing the reader that his novel has been in the works dating all of the way back to the 1960s, when he attended the Asbury Theological Seminary. Oswalt quickly points out that one of the main points that the book will focus on is determining if “the religion of the Old Testament [is] essentially similar to, or essentially different from, the religions of its neighbors.”1 Oswalt is swift to acknowledge a major difference between the Old Testament and the religions of the Israelites Near Eastern neighbors. The divine medium of the Israelites’ neighbors was nature. On the other hand, the Israelites relied upon a unique human-historical experience.…

    A Journey Through the Old Testament

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    Summary of the Books of the Old Testament Books

    The book of Leviticus is principally written law material. Specific key themes and events include starting with God calling Moses to tell the Israelites to brings their burnt offerings (livestock) a male from the herd without blemish and bring them to the door of the Tent of meeting that he may be accepted before the Lord. This starts the instructions for the priest and people of Israel of the various offerings: burnt, cereal, peace, purification, reparation (or sin) offerings that were to be used, although the priests are essential for handling the blood, carrying out the sacrifice and dividing the "portions", needs to know how this is to be done. Sacrifices are to be divided between God, the priest, and the one who brought the sacrifice, although in some cases the entire sacrifice is a single portion consigned to God - i.e., burnt to ashes. As it describes the consecration of Aaron and his sons as the first priests, the first sacrifices, and God's destruction of two of Aaron's sons for ritual offenses it also describes the consequences of not following God’s instructions. As Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command. Moses has to warn Aaron that although he had lost two sons (due to their failure to follow God’s order) the dedication worshipping of God had to continue. This also goes to show that the guidelines of priests to serve as intermediaries between God and his people and to communicate God’s word to his people was a very distinctive position which meant that even though their offense might have seemed trivial and the punishment to great God could not let that insult go unpunished.…

    Israelite Religion

    Here, the Bible suggests that the Israelite’s saw foreigners as being set apart from themselves not on the basis of the Israelites being a superior race, but rather, on the basis of the Israelites’ devotion to a distinctive culture and religion that was based on their belief in the God of the Bible. Nowhere does the text state that the Israelites were concerned with the race of the people of other nations. Instead, the text indicates that the Israelites were concerned with not falling into the cultural and religious practices of other nations which would steer them towards other gods and away from the God of the Bible. This is indicated in the above passage by the repeated demand to destroy anything that relates to non-Israelite gods. Numerous…
